Thanks for the links, I will check them out again, just to be sure. But at least for now, I see them as a form of reification of 2+ arity data into RDF, whereas what I've been wondering about is the lack of fundamentally n-ary formats, where RDF's named binary (ternary?) one is just a special case. I mean, everybody who's ever done real work must already understand the basic problem with binary, named relations: they simply make your query and update language nasty, and also subliminally guide you to use substandard physical storage organization. -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - decoy@iki.fi, http://decoy.iki.fi/front +358-50-5756111, 025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2
